The Role
I'm recruiting for a fast-growing, boutique advisory practice in Belfast that works with some of the most exciting and high‑potential businesses in the tech, creative, and professional sectors. This is not your typical accounting job - it's an opportunity to work directly with ambitious founders, offer real commercial insight, and grow your own career fast in a modern, forward‑thinking environment. The firm combines hands‑on compliance support with commercial advisory work - think forecasting, R&D tax, profit planning, and business strategy - giving you early access to the kind of exposure that's rare at this level. If you're newly or recently qualified (ACA or ACCA) and want more than just ticking boxes, this role will give you variety, visibility, and the chance to make a difference to your clients' success.
What You'll Be Doing
- Work directly with high‑growth clients across tech, creative, and start‑up sectors
- Prepare and interpret management accounts, cashflows, and business KPIs
- Deliver financial models and forecasting that drive decision‑making
- Advise clients on tax‑efficient structures, director remuneration, and profit extraction
- Handle corporate tax, personal tax, VAT, R&D tax relief and CGT queries
- Ensure clients remain compliant with statutory accounts, tax filings, and payroll
- Build trusted relationships with founders and business owners
- Be involved in business development and practice growth activities
About You
- Newly or recently qualified (ACA / ACCA)
- Strong grounding in accounts prep and tax within a UK accountancy practice
- Commercially curious – you want to know why the numbers matter
- Confident working with entrepreneurial, fast‑moving clients
- Excellent communication skills with a proactive, solutions‑focused mindset
- Comfortable using cloud software (Xero, QuickBooks, etc.)
What's on Offer
- A diverse client base of start‑ups, scale‑ups, and creative industries
- Exposure to business strategy, personal tax, R&D and financial planning
- A genuinely collaborative team in a modern central Belfast office
- Accelerated progression with hands‑on mentorship
- 30 days annual leave, bonus potential, pension scheme
- Flexible culture with early finish Fridays and regular networking events
